WEDNESDAY, MAY 16: Three former HWP employees, who were out of a job because of the fire at that facility, have been hired by Bermuda Motors.

Paint technician Michael Dill and body shop technicians Leon James and Michael Yarde were made redundant after fire destroyed HWP’s paint shop in August last year.

All three technicians are A1-qualified — the industry’s highest professional qualification — and Bermuda Motors’ customers will benefit from their more-than 100 years of experience in the automotive trade.

Michael Butler, general manager of Bermuda Motors, said: “We’re delighted to add three such experienced technicians to our paint and body department. We always aim to provide fast, top quality repairs, and their experience and expertise can only help us improve our customer service.”

Mr Butler said that with a staff of 13, Bermuda Motors was now Bermuda’s premier paint and body shop.
